19 mai 1921 - Emergency Quota Act (May 19, 1921) The Emergency Quota Act was passed when immigration began to drastically increase. It established a quota system which created a maximum number of immigrants that could come from different countries each year. It was revised in 1924 to limit new immigrants to be equivalent to 2% of the existing population of their nationals in the US.
